Painting by H.Watson c1960 |
June 2008,
GlescaPal Scotty, Wales
"Popped up tae visit ma Maw, and
she haunded me this painting of a tram in Bridgeton Cross, circa
1960, by someone cawed H Watson. Anyone got a clue as to who he/she
might be?"
The originals are on whit Aah kin only describe as "Art" paper, and
are starting tae discolour a wee bit.
As my daytime hat is wan of Photographer, Aah huv contacts with a
couple of specialist labs, and will be having a few copies made so
that my brothers and sister can each huv a perr tae hing oan their
wa's tae remind them o therr roots. That's therr Christmas soarted!!
They shud print up nicely oan a 16" x 24" canvas.

" Webmaister I don’t know if you are aware of this, but H
Watson’s painting c1960 has an open-topped tram and an
ornamental lamp standard at the corner to the left of the tram.
Note also, John Lappin’s painting 1947 also has an open-topped
tram.
I believe H Watson’s painting was probably painted c1960 but
used as a reference photo an image dated between the late
nineteen-thirties to late nineteen-forties."
